I’m so happy to announce that I will be offering on online, in real-time course on Shakespeare, Magic, and Religion starting this January. In the course, we will cover eight plays of Shakespeare and the roles of religion and magic—not as distinguishable as you might think—not only in the plays but in Shakespeare’s world as well (not to mention ours). I promise: it will be fun.
Session will take place on Saturdays, roughly from 1:00 - 3:00 pm (Eastern US Time) beginning January 4th.
The fee for the course in $150.
TENATIVE SCHEDULE
January 4: Twelfth Night (which makes sense, because the next day is Twelfth Night.).
January 11: A Midsummer Night’s Dream (but it won’t actually be Midsummer).
January 18: Romeo and Juliet (just a couple o’ crazy kids with a dream)
January 25: Hamlet (perhaps the most theological play in the canon).
February 1: Pericles, Prince of Tyre (not a lot of people know this one—which is CRIMINAL).
February 8: Macbeth (by the pricking of my thumbs, this play is a banger).
February 15: Measure for Measure (another one not enough people know).
February 22: The Tempest (O brave new world, that has such characters in it!)
Following this course, be on the lookout for one on William Blake’s Jerusalem.
If you wish to take the course, contact me at director@thecenterforsophiologicalstudies.com and I’ll tell you what you need to do.
And here is a song I wrote to the lyrics of Shakespeare from Twelfth Night for your listening pleasure--and check out that fiddler!
